We`er going to need a bigger display case !!!

[bottlepoor]

I was out today and ran across a bottle, it is aqua, has an applied lip, lots of bubbles and is debossed on the bottom 1920 with 3 vent holes ( I think ) a really cool bottle but, I`m going to need a bigger display case !!!!!

Here is the picture of the bottom, any ideas what this bottle was used for or value ?????

Dont know of value, but it looks like it could have been used to make a damn big batch of wine. I know an older Greman gentleman that my parents are friends with that use huge bottles like that to make his homemade wine. Bigger than your normal demijohn. His arent that old, but same shape, and probably the same size.

Thanks for the reply, I don`t know where I`m going to put it, it seems to be in the way no matter what !! (ha-ha)

I agree it was likely used for homemade wine.. even the residue on the bottom looks familiar to me.. I run a small vineyard and use several vessels like this one.. yours looks like a 10 gallon..

You can also see in the picture of the top, it has 4 indentions perfectly across from one another, was there some kind of clousure ?

I have one similar to that. Huge! Base is embossed 13G (in the center) Around the edge of the base is M C A G S T D. 1947. This thing is a monster! Very crude and wavy glass. Some nice bubbles and I assume an applied top. Greenish-aqua. More on the green side.
